!Gameboy
by Purple Monchichi
"This is the fourth edition of the famous Gameboy-Emulator for the Acorn Archimedes/RiscPC!!"

Not much can be assumed about !Gameboy from us without RiscOS compatible machines, however, the following were added in the latest version of !Gameboy:

  • Old version did not load 512k-modules with smartcard-header (512k+512)
  • "Prehistorik Man"-bugfix
  • Better fps-calculation (now really counting fps)
  • StrongARM-compatible
  • Better fullscreen-mode (see also "screenmode-detection" below)
  • Better frontend
  • Snapshots (filetype &0D8, "GBsnap")
While a large amount of information can be assumed from that list, there is also an improved version available that can be explained by the following:

"This is a rewritten front end for Purple Monchichi's RISC OS Gameboy emulator, which runs in a window under the desktop. Other useful additions include the ability to cheat using Game Genie codes, much enhanced saving and loading facilities, and an easy way to reconfigure the keys and colours. I've tested it on a StrongARM RISC PC and an old ARM3 A3000. The RISC PC copes fine with scaling up to 300% (you have to press escape at this magnification to regain control of the machine though), whereas the A3000 struggles somewhat at any size. In theory it could run at a similar speed to the old non-multitasking version due to more efficient key handling code, but I've not been able to test it on any 'in-between' machines."
